THE REPUBLICAN.

Tax-Payers Growing Weary.

Toryilon Republican. Tlief State Treasurer is still calling on county treasurers to advance him funds before the usual and regular time. Tho fact is, ' the State Treasury is bankrupt . and the State deeply in debt. It was not sou filler Republican rule, and it is not strange that the taxpapers are growing weary of Democratic government.

Condemned, by an Organ.

The Chicago Times, a leading Democratic journal, speaks or the party as follows: “It is an organized fraud. It is a name of conjuration to capture - the votes qf electoral fools for the profit of oniee-seeking knaves. The knaves that conjure by it are .of every political color, race and tribe, as well as nondescript;. They are protectionists and free traders, civil service reformers and incorrigible spoilsmen, progressive Liberals and reactionary Bourbons; demagogues on. every side of every public question, united in nothing but a habit of seeking their personal advancement by methods of fraud.

Mr. Cleveland’s Insults.

Columbus Republican, In vetoing one bill where the man claimed to have been ruptured, by being thrown forward upon the horn of a eavalry saddle, he sneeringly said “it is singular how many men were raptured by being thrown up jn the horns of their saddles,” thus insulting every one of the hundreds who justly claim to have been injured in this manner. The men who were in the army who participated in the long night marches and raids over rough roads, or in the carnage of battle, are not surprised that so many injuries of this kind occurred, and they cb not care to be insulted about it, either, even by the President of the United States, who was himself a young and robust man at that time, but, instead of risking the dangers of cavalry saddle, preferred to spend the time guzzling wine and whiskey and carousing with lewd women.

Professor Gunning's Lectures.

Prof. Wm. D. Gunning will Aleliver a series of lectures at the court house next week, the subjects being as follows: Ist. Man in the-Geologic Record —World of Primeval Man. 2nd. America under ice—Glacial Epochs. 3rd. Darwinism in the light of Recent Discovery. 4th. Rock-Oil and Gas—Their Geologic History —Are they here? sth. Origin and Destiny of Man... 6th,. Origin and Destiny of the Races of Men.

Opinions of the Press.

DuarngJiieJecture the eloquent scientist was warmly: applauded, and his effort met with such decided favor that the Unity Club have secured him for- the course ‘ next year.- —Cincinnati Enquirer, March ISSI. Prof. Gunning was brilliant. “The"! lecture ' Waß ligious in spirit. * * They cannot be so dull, indifferent and selfish, after having such men as Wendell Philips, Win. Larsons, Prof. Gunning and Carl Scliurz.— Rev. C. W. Wendte, hr Cineinnqii Commercial, March 18S1. Prof. Gunning is a perfect Nast in his powers of delineation. With a few crayon strokes lie creates ;.ny monster of the past. —Sim Fosc Mereunj. No lectures -have been.more instructive to the people of Amesbury than those of Prof. Gunning. --FJcrwimieE -

Mr. Jonathan Williams has 360 bushels of his wheat threshed. The machine is waiting for the rest to dry. Seth J. Bently and John Johnson, Dunnville merchants, are doing a flourishing business. Opposition is the life of trade. M. V. Sands has got his wheat threshed anti in his bin. He is rejoicing now over 430 bushels. His corn and oats looks very promising. Mart is one of our most enterprising farmers. Hon. I. D. Dunn is putting up a large amount- of hay. He is a square business man, highly respected by his neighbors, and well deserving the honor of being our representative. K. K. "A UNION ITEMS. Miss Altie Cover is visiting friends in Newton. Work will commence on the new railroad this week. Mrs. Thomas Sayers is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gwin, of Pleasant Ridge. Health good, weather pleasant and preparing to make hay is the topic of the day. James Brushaham met with quite a loss one day of last week. He had a span of fine colts killed by the cars. The Sunday school and bible class held at the Harrington school house still continues to do good work, and also the singing school. David W. Shields, with a very pleasing countenance, passed through Union yesterday. What is the cause of candidates being so pleasant? Preacher Davis, of Wheatfield, and Elder Pearson, of. Union, preached at the Harrington school house, on last Sunday. Davis will preach at the same place the [third Sunday in August. ' Unionite.

SURREY SCRAPS. Miss Nette Mclntire is visiting her sister, Mrs Will Brown. The youngest son of D. H. Yeoman is still quite ill. Miss Dora Thornton has been very sick for the past two weeks. A new wind mill is being erected for David Yeoman. Misses Effie Yeoman and Ella 'Lang enjoyed a happy birthday yesterday. The lady friends of Miss Maud Hemphill visited her last Saturday. it being her sixteenth birthday. The friends of Miss pema Hopkins gave her a surprise last Saturday evening in honor ot her eighteenth birthday. A very social time was enjoyed. The recent rains have proved very beneficial to blackberries, and a bountiful crop is being gathered by the women who are ‘up with the sun.” F. J. Lang, who moved from Indianapolis in the spring, has completed a new family .residence in Surrey,-which is quite j,n improvement in looks to the little town. G. M. Wilcox, our enterprising general merchant, visited Chicago last week and laid in a large supply of dry goods and groceries, which will be sold at as cheap rates as they can be bought at any other place. Susy.

ROSE LA WN ITEMS. The farmers all in good spirits; corn very good; oats good and hay are first class. We had a vety heavy rain on Monday evening, but it will do more good than harm in our sandy soil. Mr. Joseph White was ou the sick list on Monday but I believe he is able to be around again. He is building a large corn crib and putting in a large pair of cattle scales. -■> We see notices have been put up of a big shooting • match or, rather, glass ball tournament, at this place, on August 7th. The Rensselaer crack shots are- afraid to take a hand. There is also- a Grand Ball on evening of same date. ' On last evening the boys had quite a nice dance in Tanner’B Tiall. Everything-passed

off nicely. £lome of the boys visit ted “Henry” rather too often during the night, but were all in good spirits after the effects of the bad spirits had passed off. Mr. Marshall, our candidate for Prosecutor, came around smiling on the voters, but he does not smile with ihem. We expect allot the candidates to give us a call and we want them to do sonte talking, too. We will guarantee them an intelligent and interested audience. ' : ; Ex-Jaspehite. REMINGTON ITEMS. Schuyler Irwin, deputy clerk of Jasper county, visited relatives and friends here last week. Miss Alma Babb, after a delightful week in Burlington, lowa, returned on Tuesday morning last to her-place in the post-office; 0. B. Mclntire and family returned on Saturday last from a pleasant visit witli relatives and friends in Kentucky and southern Indiana. Miss M. P. Belles and Miss MyTa Price, both of whom have been engaged in the south, will be in Remington this week. Miss Bolles comes from Crockett, Texas, and Miss Price from Lincoln University, at Marion, Alabama. J udge E. P. Hammond and Hon. S. P. Thompson were in town last week, possibly looking over the political field as this is the time pf year when a “man’s fancies lightly turn to thoughts of politics.” The lookout is encouraging, decidedly so. Rev. O. W. Sharp and wife, of Watseka, 111., were in town last Friday. Mr. Sharp occupying the pulpit of the Christian church on Friday evening. Elder Norton, of Logansport preached from the same desk Sunday morning and evening.

The young men who left this place-for the west seem to be doing famously. 'Clark Price who was elected to the legislature last winter, is spoken of in the prominent papers in most flattering terms while Rev. W. H. Vance and wife in addition to their other gifts and blessings are returning thanks for a handsome, boy, who came to them J uly 12th. Albert K<Melt, a youth of thirteen years old, died on Saturday evening last of a short, but very painful illness. There were a complication of diseases, but the immediate cause of his death was lung fever brought on its supposed from bathing in the creek when overheated. The day before he was taken sick he ,was thrown violently to the ground by a fracj tious cow, which doubtless added to his sufferings if it did not hasten his death. A large crowd of sympathizing friends and neighbors attended the funeral services on Sunday afternoon, which were conducted by Rev. J. B. Crowe at the home of the family. Bertie was a good boy and will long be missed from his place in the family circle and from among his playmates. Remingtonian.

The best fine shoe in the market for the money and fully warranted. A new pair if not as represented. Hemphill & Honan. A sad case of insanity is reported from Walker tp. A year or two ago Geo. Anderson obtained a judgment in Chicago, 111., against Mary J. Hawhe, for a considerable sum. He brought a transcript of the’ judgment to Jasper county, and obtained a judgement here, To satisfy this judgment a piece of land in Walker tp., belonging to Hawhe, was sold by sheriff s sale. Anderson himself bought the 1 finds, moved on and largely improved the same. In the March term of the Jasper circuit court. Hawke obtained a verdict settings aside the former judgment in Anderson’s favor, and under which the land had been sold. In the June term Hawhe obtained a further judgment against Anderson giving her possession of the land and in addition damages and costs to the amount pf S3OO. These misfortunes have preyed so heavily upon the mind of the mother of Mr; Anderson that she. is reported to have lost her reason. The extent and nature of liei derangement, we have not learned, Normalites don’t forget to call and see us if you are needing boots, shoes or millinery and notions. Hemphill & Honan. The Monon management are again talking very positively about moving their shops from New Albany to some more central location, and there is but little reason to doubt that the removal will soon be definitely decided upon. CrawfDTdsX'ille’~arrd- ~Lafayet-te-arre-again exerting themselves to make., the best offers for the shops, and the former city is said to have offered a large tract of land and a bonus of $60,000 for the works. The railroad editor of the Indianapolis Journal inclines to the opinion that neither Lafayette nor Crawfordsville are likely to get these shops, and that our neighboring town of Monon will come out ahead of her big rivals, in the end. The Journal says: “The rumor is revived that the L., N. A. & C. company is to build new shops, and the good people of Lafayette are again oh the alert to secure them. The only objection to Lafayette securing the new shops is the fact they are not really on the L., N. A. &. C. main line. The Indianapolis or Airline division is the portion of the system that is coming rapidly to the front, and gives promise of being the big paying portion of the road. Therefore, it is quite likely that the management will, when they build shops, locate them at Monon.”

' 1 The ladies of Rensselaer and vicinity are respectfully notified that we fmve purchased all o? Miss Mollie Babcock’s stamping patterns and have added a nice selection of new onces, hence anything in the stamping line will be done promptly, Hemphill & Honan.
